New Suspension, where to install? San Diego Area

I just bought some tein springs and kyb shocks. I would love to install them myself but i don't have the means to do so. Anyone know of a place that's well known in the san diego area that could do it?

I have a set of spring compressors if you want to borrow them (I'm in Escondido). I changed the shocks on my '90 to eibach/agx combo a few years ago and it was a pretty straightfoward process.

I did not change (or lube) the rubber mounts though, so one of the corners did creak occasionally.

I just had a sweeping sense of deja vu from when I play Counter-Strike: Source and a girl shows up on a server ...
